No, not Jim Hensen…I’m talking about Kermit Love. Kermit just passed away at age 91 as a result of congestive heart failure. Though he denies being the source of Kermit the Frog’s name, he was very involved in the design of similar puppet-type characters. Love designed the costumes and puppets for Mr. Snuffleupagus, Oscar the Grouch and Cookie Monster, as well the Snuggle Bear from the fabric softener commercials. Yet, he is best known for designing the 8-foot 2-inch yellow feathered costume worn by Big Bird of Sesame Street.
Small piece of trivia: He appeared on Sesame Street as Willy, the neighborhood’s resident hot dog vendor.
R.I.P. to the puppet master!
